SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — President José Jarí of Peru said his government on Friday would declare a state of emergency along the country’s southern border and deploy more armed forces to the area as a large number of Venezuelan migrants venture north from Chile, where anti-immigrant sentiment has surged during a fraught presidential campaign.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants escaping crises in their home countries or seeking better opportunities abroad long have traversed the continent and the Peruvian border to build new lives in Chile, one of Latin America’s most stable and prosperous nations.
But scores of people without legal status in Chile — mostly Venezuelans who fled their country’s economic ruin and authoritarian rule in recent years — are now also headed in the other direction as Chile prepares to harden its stance against immigration.
The favorite to win Chile’s presidential runoff on Dec. 14, ultraconservative lawyer José Antonio Kast, has built his campaign around popular fears over immigration from Venezuela and a rise in organized crime. He filmed a campaign video at Chile’s porous desert border with Peru last week, warning immigrants without formal status to get out of the country while they still can.
“You have 111 days to leave Chile voluntarily,” he said in the ad, referring to the number of days until a new administration takes over from current left-wing President Gabriel Boric. “If not, we will stop you, we will detain you, we will expel you. You will leave with only the clothes on your back.”
Soon Peruvian media was awash with images of migrant families rushing north from Chile into Peru, their belongings stuffed in backpacks and garbage bags

What AP-O is really unhappy about is that President Trump has closed our Southern Border from invasion.
AP-O refers to the Great El Rush-Bo. He referred to it as The Associated Press for Obama.
“You have 111 days to leave Chile voluntarily,” he said in the ad, referring to the number of days until a new administration takes over from current left-wing President Gabriel Boric. “If not, we will stop you, we will detain you, we will expel you.

It would be best if Venezuela would stop being Communist and go back to being a normal country.
Why don’t these “migrant” losers stand up and fight for their country instead of flee?
If they won’t fight for their country, they certainly wouldn’t fight for ours.
You have to shoot your way out of one. Perhaps Trump can do it without shots being fired. That’s my guess.
RE: a large number of Venezuelan migrants venture north from Chile…
Whew, for a moment as I read only the title, I thought it was CHILEANS trying to take refuge in Peru, which didn’t make sense at all…
And well past time.
You know it’s bad when even other third world countries don’t want your riff raff.
Because all they're interested in is hand outs and freebies courtesy of Uncle Sugar.
How about no? Put up a No Vacancy sign and let other nations carry the load for awhile.
Wait. So Central and South American countries can have borders? But the United States is racist if they want one? Doesn’t square up.
Good point!
